In test after test, from coast to coast and from around the world, no anchor in history has been called "The Worlds Best Anchor" by more boaters and respected marine experts than Fortress...and for good reason.

Years of research and development, high-tech materials and manufacturing and thousands of real world tests are your assurance of performance, quality, and value. Fortress weighs only half as much as heavier steel anchors and yet outperforms them all.

Why? Because the Fortress design does not depend upon weight to provide world class performance. All this adds up to your best value in anchoring safety and convenience.

Feature

Precision-machined from an aluminum alloy that is as strong as steel, but only half the weight

Can be disassembled

Lifetime Parts Replacement Warranty

Adjustable 32° to 45° fluke angle

Tough anodized finish

Benefit

Easy to manage weight

Rustproof

Sharper than heavy, dull-edged steel anchors

Will set faster and penetrate deeper into common sea bottoms for incredible holding power

I purchased this as a lunch anchor. I have a sweet old sailboat without an anchor windlass, so a lightweight lunch break anchor was in order. I wouldn't use this for an overnight anchorage, cause I like to sleep well and not worry. I did read a review of these in Practical Sailor and their holding power really is very good. Great as a second back up anchor too.

This is my first lightweight aluminum anchor, and so far I am very happy with how it works. Less than half the weight great holding power, good looking and no rusting.

On the advice of your tech person I bought a Fortress anchor for our 21' IO. I wasn't familiar with this anchor, but gambled that your tech knew their business. The holding power exceeds my expectations. I'm glad I called you guys.

It's light and stylish and it holds my 30 ft cruiser very well in both sand and mud bottom conditions..... Wish I had bought it years ago.
